What Cowboys’ Micah Parsons said to Jayden Daniels

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons discusses it all on his podcast “The Edge.” Nothing is off limits at Parsons, from what happens with his team to discussing other teams, players and coaches.

Earlier this season, he discussed his former coach, Dan Quinn, who is now the head coach of the Washington Commanders, on his podcast. On Sunday, Parsons played his former coach for the first time, shocking Washington 34-26 in one of the NFL’s wildest games of the season.

Discussing the game, Parsons called it one of the “craziest games” he has ever participated in, full of “highs and lows.”

The wildest part of Sunday’s game happened with less than 30 seconds left. Dallas led 27-20, and Washington had the ball on the 14-yard line with no timeouts remaining. While nothing is impossible, especially with the Commanders, given their Hail Mary victory over the Bears four weeks earlier, things looked bleak for Washington.

Then rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels found a soft spot in the Cowboys defense and dropped a dime to wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who outpaced the Dallas secondary into the end zone for an 86-yard touchdown. All the commanders had to do was make a point-after attempt.

They didn’t, preserving the Cowboys’ win.

After the game, Parsons showed his respect for Daniels and the Commanders.

He had more to say about Daniels during his podcast.

“I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was that good,” Parsons said of Daniels.

“And I said this to him during the game, I said, ‘Yo, J, if y’all had played the way you played in that fourth quarter, the whole game, I think y’all would have been unstoppable.’ I think he’s the caliber where you can have a complex system and say, ‘Let him go.’ It will be very interesting to see how they use him in the second half of the season, especially with December football here and obviously their play-off hopes; I think the hype about him is real. That’s a very talented team and they have the ability to be very good for a long time with Jayden Daniels at quarterback.”

That’s high praise from Parsons, who clearly expects a major rivalry between the Cowboys and Commanders in the coming years.

The two old rivals meet again in Week 18, this time in Dallas.
